This philosophy is not popular in today's environment. The media is not
interested in talking honestly about this
subject... only vilifying "big oil"...

I think the media thinks they're talking honestly, sort of the way they talk
about killer bees, bigfoot, Alar, plane crashes, etc.

All of this is music to the ears of envrironmentalist groups that are
really anti-capitalist groups in disguise.

Some are, some aren't. I've met very many well-organized,
non-anti-capitalist environmentalists. Out west it comes with the turf; you
can be one without being the other. I've flown photo missions for
environmentalist groups that weren't anti-capitalist, although there's
certainly no shortage of clueless anarchist tagalongs who parasitically
attach themselves to whatever progress somebody tries to make and then
verbally attack anybody who says they're out of line.

It's weirder than that out here, though, too. A friend of mine used to work
for a spook organization hired by local timber companies to scare or rough
up protestors, or to pretend to be a protestor by going to a trial or
something and causing chaos. As long as they look like punks, the media
reports 'em as enviros or ecoterrorists. He quit doing it because his
conscience got to him, but even then he simply refused to talk about some of
the stuff he says he did and that they still do.

When a country is led by 500 some-odd dumbasses all living together in on
city on the Potomac River what do expect would happen?

LOL! Yeah, I agree!
